Australia wastes 7.3 million tonnes of food per year, with most of the wastage occurring at the primary production and household parts of the supply chain. (https://www.fial.com.au/sharing-knowledge/food-waste)

In this episode Dr Susan Bird, Senior Lecturer in Law at Charles Darwin University, discusses how the law can be employed to push us towards our target of reducing food waste by half by 2023.

Susan co-authored a paper, The vital role of law in fighting Australia's food waste https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1037969X221098483
